Sprayway Packs A Trip To Kiwi Land...

Sprayway, the Manchester-based company best known for their clothing, has launched into the pack market with a range of daysacks for this summer.

We told you about the sacs last year in this story but to recap, the packs have been some 18 months in the making after some 'extensive research and development'. The Eclipse range is a collection of summer daysacks aimed at walkers in sizes in 15, 20 and 25-litre sizes and there's also an Adventure range which should be equally at home in the smoke and come in the same sizes. Prices range from £20 up to £35.

We were struck by how well specced they were when we first saw them at Friedrichshafen last year with features including a high tec, breathable back, hydration facility, side bottle pockets, walking pole attachments and so on.

Dream Hol' In New Zealand

As a bonus, if you buy any Sprayway kit from participating retailers at the moment, you can enter a free draw to win a whopping great £6,500 holiday to the outdoor Mecca that is New Zealand. That includes clothing of all kinds and packs, with the draw to take place in the summer. Looks good to us. More information here.
